Collective Haul & Swatches

Below are products which I never had the time to swatch or do reviews on. Some I bought recently and some in '09. For a while, I had actually forgotten about some of them =)

YSL Rouge Volupte in Frivolous Pink (Rs.1730)

No.. No.. No...

This lipstick is kinda overrated to me. Yes it's creamy and silky but it does not settle on your lips unless you use your finger to blend it. Plus the color is so "WRONG" for me. I didn't go buy it myself. Well, long story short, I picked the color over the phone. But no worries, for Rs. 1730 I'll make it work. By that, I mean either apply sparingly or mix it with other colors. The only thing i absolutely love about it is the luxurious packaging.

♥Bourjois Maxi Frange Mascara (Waterproof) ~ Isn't the packaging of this so cute?!I didn't like this mascara very much when I first got it but I used it again yesterday and was surprised to see that it's not so bad. I'll try to use it up.

This is such a fun product. I like scrubbing my lips with the little buffer because it sort of increases the blood circulation to the lips which plumps them up and brings a nice natural color. The glycerine-infused iridescent balm does improve my chapped lips. I sure won't be throwing away this tube even when I've used up the balm.

Mini Bourjois Eau De Gloss in Framboise Glacee ~ FREE!

Inglot Nail Enamel in #150 (Rs.550)

I really like the finish of this nail polish and the lilac is perfect for spring. Will definitely be buying more Inglot nail polishes. The color selection is gorgeous.

Loove the bourjois products you have there gurlie! especially the lip scrub thingy :D I agree the YSL lippy can defo be duped for less :S They have other better colors which you could go for next time though :)

Lovely haul! I especially love the green eyeliner from Bourjois. I have been wanting to buy a rich, green liner. I think it would complement brown eyes rather nicely. The nail polish you got is equally pretty. I love color like that for Spring!

What a great haul! Lots of Bourjois, I see. :) The sparkling green eyeliner is pretty, it's such a nice green. I don't think I've seen the Bourjois lip scrub before. It does look unusual. I will check for it the next time I go to the store. :)

I actually like that YSL lippie on you! Admittedly, I'm partial to cool toned pinks. I may also be distracted by the gorgeous packaging. I don't care about the lipstick; I just want the gold tube! LOL!

love all the stuff you got! too bad about the ysl lippie though... so many ppl rave about it and i wanted to try it, but i just can't find a color that i think would work on me. everything is too bright.

hey i am so glad i read this post! i recently did a lipstick review for rati and was in doubt about the price of the ysl rouge volupte. i thought i got it for 2700! talk about forgetfulness! i'll tell her to correct the price right away.

I ♥ finding little notes in my Vanity Case, so do drop one. I read all of them & I try my best to reply to each & every one of them [check back in 2-3 days =D] but most times it's physically impossible! Either way, I love to hear from you & really appreciate you taking the time out to share your thoughts <3
